Yes, it updates indexes. If we are talking about MR job, than bulk load generates HFiles for user table and index tables at the same time and load it using HBase bulk load. In case of PSQL the data is loading using regular upserts and indexes are updated in regular way.

Yes, it does. If it didn't, your queries would return incorrect results.

The code suggests to me that the PhoenixRecordWriter handles the responsibility of updating both the data tables and index tables during the MR job output, but I'm not sure the link is to exactly the right class.
